Check the produce section of your local store. Then try places like
Asain markets and Farmer's Markets. Ask about the various
not-so-common items.

In our local Asian market area, I have seen things I'm not sure were not, in fact, of extra-terrestrial origin.

Seriously - there were fruits there that looked like a sci-fi grenade with all sorts of spikes in all directions.... and this was supposed to be eaten somehow....

You don't mean a durian do you?  It's not just the spikes that are off putting, they have to be smelled/tasted to be believed.  Definitely alien.


It would be fun to create an article with a collection of 'food packets' - describe colour, odour, sight, taste, contents, other notes. It would be fun to have 66 of these (because d66!) so that when the characters are sitting down for rat packs (because there was no Fresh veg at the last stop - a Vacuum planet), you could make it a fun roll.

Great idea!  On the upside you don't need 66 for a d66 table.  36 will do.  ;-)




Hey, I like Haggis so I'm not one to throw stones too far...

Now they're definitely alien creatures with their legs on one side longer than those on the other so they can run round hills without tipping over!
